Exercise Tips

On The Road

Let’s face it, if you’re on the road, anytime of year can be cha. I designed a few simple on the go routines for my road warriors.In all of these, I am going to assume there is some sort of cardio available whether it be running,an elliptical, walking. In addition the majority of the exercises are body weight based. So no excuses not to work out at your Mother’s or the grimmest of hotel gyms! The structure of the workouts are similar but there is enough variation you can do different ones in a row and keep your body guessing

As a Holistic Health Coach, it is Erin’s big hairy audacious goal is to change the dialogue around how we look at weight loss. It is not a matter of being it Ketosis or Food Swaps but the feelings we have that we are avoiding by overeating. Why are so many of us not tackling the real issues we have? It is easier and safer to obsess over the latest diet fad. Whether it be with our job, or our Mom, boyfriend, politics… until we address how we manage our feelings in the world, we are not going to.
